It is said that Baig was close to Khan and had financial deals with him.</p>.<p>Soon after Baig was detained, Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy alleged that BJP had aided his “escape attempt”.

It's a shame that @BJP4Karnataka is helping a former minister escape, who is facing a probe in the #IMA case.
